You have supported and inspired me with your comments, card swaps, orders, and more! I am having so much fun celebrating with 10 Days of Giveaways! Today everyone can be a winner! Keep reading to find out how!

I had so much fun playing with colors this weekend. I created several cards.
Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms embossed birthday card and gift card holder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love black & white with a pop of color! As I was looking back at some of the cards I’ve created over the past 10 years, this one caught my eye.
Stampin' Up! Hello card for any occasion - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card back in 2016. (Notice there’s no watermark on my card. I had just started blogging at the time and had no idea what I was doing! LOL) This card was one from my first ABC Series, The ABC’s of Stampin’. If you are new to stamping, this is a great series to browse through.  There are lots of tips and short videos explaining (almost) everything you need to know about the basics of stamping, Stampin’ Up! products and how to use them. Just click on the categories bar and select ABC’s of Stampin’.  Unfortunately it will start backwards with the last entry. If you want to start at the beginning, Click HERE or go to the Archives and start at September 2016. It starts September 5th with “A is for Adhesives“. (*If you want my favorite adhesives, see the special offer below for my Adhesive Tote.)

I always need birthday cards and I bet you do too! This one has a cool gift card holder too!
Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms, Peaceful Moments, and Perfectly Penciled embossed birthday card and gift card holder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a fun card that you could use for many different occasions…just change the sentiment inside for Mother’s Day, Anniversary, Graduation, etc. I got the inspiration for the gift card holder from my super talented friend and team member, Rosanne Mulhern. You can check out her Easter card HERE.

I changed up the measurements a bit because I was thinking I wanted my card to be horizontal. I made these cards both ways. Which way do you like better?

I heat embossed the flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set with White Embossing Powder on Shimmery White cardstock. It is so easy to watercolor when you heat emboss first!!! The ink doesn’t stick to the embossing and stays inside the lines. Makes me feel like an artist and I love the look you get!

I used Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, and Pool Party ink/cardstock/ribbon. Do you have a favorite? Here’s a closer look at each one.

I used two different stamp sets for the inside of the cards. I like both sentiments and they have different fonts (which I love).

Regency Park Double-Sided Designer Series Paper Cards

I got together with my friend and teammate, Rosanne Mulhern, last week for some stamping fun! Truth be told we did more chatting than stamping but we did manage to create a few cards and I LOVE them!!!
Stampin' Up! Regency Park Double Sided Designer Series Paper Card idea with petal Park Bundle- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
We got this card fold idea from Rachel Tessman and decided to try it out with different DSP.  I’ll share my measurements as I changed it a bit. First, let’s take a look at each of the double-sided cards I made with the gorgeous Regency Park Designer Series Paper!

I love the surprise you get when you open the card and see the patterned paper on the inside! Regency Park is my favorite DSP in the Mini Catalog! There’s so many more designs to love!  I had fun playing with the different patterns and trying something a little different on each card.  Are you ready for the details to create these cards?

Measurements

  • Card Base (Night of Navy): 4 3/16 x 5 1/2
  • DSP (Regency Park): Cut 1/2 off the bottom of the 6 x 6 DSP (so it is  5 1/2 x 6).        Then score at 1/2, and 4 3/4.
  • Cardstock strips in coordinating colors: Need 2 strips. 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, 1/2 x 5 1/2
  • Basic White cardstock: to stamp  & punch flowers and leaves. Need Decorative Circle Punch, Petal Builder Punch, Double Oval Punch
  • Cardstock for inside card: 4 x 5 1/4
  • DSP for envelope: 2 1/4 x 6 or 2 x 6 with 1/4 x 6 cardstock strip

Directions

  • Fold DSP along score lines. Adhere the 1/2 fold on the back of the cardstock piece that is your card base. This is what the back of the card will look like.
    Stampin' Up! Regency Park Double Sided Designer Series Paper card tutorial- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
  • Fold the other side of the DSP forward. This will create your card front.Adhere 1/2 x 5 1/2 strip along the DSP flap on the front of the card. Then adhere the 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece against the score line on the right side of the DSP. This will create a strong piece to open the card. Adhere the front flap with Stampin’ Seal. Here’s what the underside of the flap looks like before it’s adhered.
    Stampin' Up! Regency Park Double Sided Designer Series Paper card tutorial- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
  • Stamp leaves from Petal Park on Basic White cardstock with Soft Succulent and Shaded Spruce Ink. This is a two step stamp. Stamp the sold image first in Soft Succulent then stamp outline/detail stamp in Shaded Spruce.
  • Punch with Decorative Circle Punch and/or fussy cut leaves to embellish front of card.
  • Stamp sentiment on Decorative Circle using Night of Navy Ink. (Or stamp sentiment and punch with Double Oval Punch.) Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp flowers from Petal Park in ink to coordinate with colors in the DSP. This is a two step stamp. I inked the solid flowers first, stamped off, then stamped on Basic White piece. Stamp the outline/detail flower on top. Punch with Petal Builder Punch. Add details with Stampin’ Write Markers in colors to match flowers in DSP.
  • Curl the ends of the flowers with a bone folder and adhere to Decorative Circle with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Embellish with Adhesive-backed Milky Dots and ribbon or cardstock banners.
  • Stamp and adhere cardstock to inside of card. Add extra punched flowers and/or fussy cut leaves if desired.
  • Adhere DSP to envelope flap and trim with Paper Snips.

Another Perpetual Birthday Calendar & Free Tutorial

Stampin' Up!Oval Occasions Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I have a problem…I can’t stop making these Perpetual Birthday Calendars and boxes! It’s time to get out that designer series paper you’ve been hoarding and showcase your favorite patterns.  What better project to make than one that will be used year after year. Yesterday I shared 3 different calendar boxes. (If you missed that post you can view it HERE.) Here’s another one.
Stampin' Up! Pierced Bloom Dies Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box idea _ Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Today’s design features the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper. (You can get this paper for FREE with a qualifying purchase through the end of February). I used the Pierced Blooms Dies to fill the envelope I cut from the Snail Dies. (This set is worth it just for that envelope die!!!!) I love this color scheme of Navy, Seaside Spray, and Basic White.

These are really quite easy to make. You just print, cut/punch, and adhere to patterned paper and/or cardstock of your choice.  There’s so many different ways to decorate the front of the boxes!  I can’t wait to give these to my friends and family. I have two friends with birthdays this month. There’s even room to fit a set of homemade birthday cards in the box (which I love to give as gifts). The recipient just needs to fill in the names of family members & friends beside their birth date on the monthly dividers. Here’s the details:

To make the box: Cut cardstock 9 1/4 x 9. Score along the 9 1/4″ side @ 4 1/2 and 6. Score along the 9″ side at 1 1/2 and 7 1/2. Cut in on the 4 1/2″ and 6″ score lines up to the 2″score line on both sides. Notch the tabs as shown below. Fold and burnish along score lines. Add adhesive to the notched tabs and the smaller ends which will be the front of the box. *I adhered the tabs to the outside of the back of the box then folded the front flaps back over the tabs. (I did this because I didn’t want the tabs on the inside to interfere with pulling the cards in and out.)

I cut the sides of the box at an angle from the front to the back but you could leave it straight if you prefer.

The cardstock layer on the front of the box measures 3 x 5 3/4. I cut the Designer Series Paper 1/8″ less (2 7/8 x 5 5/8).

The monthly dividers measure 4 x 5 1/2 and are cut from Thick Basic White cardstock. I adhered the same size patterned paper to each then adhered the calendars. I punched 24 cardstock ovals using the Double Oval Punch. I printed the months on Basic White cardstock and punched using the smaller of the Double Oval Punch.
Stampin' Up! Paper Blooms Perpetual Calendar Box Tutorial - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I adhered the months to the ovals then adhered to the front of the divider. I lined up the other oval and adhered to the back of the divider. I wanted it to be sturdy to pull out year after year. *Tip: Once you get the first 3 months lined up along the left, center, and right it is quick & easy to finish the rest by lining up the blank cards in front of these and using January, February, and March as a guide for where to place ovals.

I hope you enjoyed the different ideas for these boxes. If you have any questions feel free to email me. You can click on the print friendly version for my monthly calendars below.

*Note – If you plan to mail these, the box and a set of birthday cards fit nicely in the Paper Pumpkin boxes! I always save my Paper Pumpkin boxes and turn them inside out to send packages.
